Serena Stone Town
The Serena Inn regally situated on the sea front of Stone Town, the old side of Zanzibar, where history is marked by winding alleys and narrow pathways to mosques and shops. The hotel is built of 51 rooms and suites, with air conditioning and private balcony for each. The exotic region is marked by its affinity for spices, and there is no stopping the chefs from incorporating these sometimes potent, sometimes subtle flavors into its menu. The history, infinite cultural roots and ancient architecture are reason enough to wander this island, but feel free to take part in the dhow cruise, dolphin cruise, or cultural talks.
Overview
Idyllically situated on the sea front of ancient Stone Town, washed by the aquamarine waters of the Zanzibar channel, redolent of the scent of cloves and flanked by an exotic melange of sultan’s palaces, Portuguese forts, ancient dhow harbours, dark slave markets, and bright bazaars, the Zanzibar Serena Inn is a haven of tranquillity and opulence amongst the bustle of Zanzibar. Faithfully restored and lavishly embellished with a jackdaw collection of antique clocks, crystal chandeliers, fretwork screens, carved staircases, Persian rugs and brass-studded doors, the interior design concept is a fusion of authenticity and opulence that reflects the very essence of Zanzibar.
